Hi -

We have been testing out Highpoint's RocketRAID SATA 1820A card on one
of our AMD64 boxes (as some of you have seen, we/ISC haven't had the
best of luck with 3ware controllers on amd64 systems)  Highpoint offers
drivers/kernel modules for FreeBSD 5.3 (amd64 & i386); I remember Scott
Long did some work to get the i386 driver into 5.3-REL, but I haven't
seen the amd64 driver integrated as well.  Are there any plans to do so
(I hate having to remember to copy hptmv.ko every time I update this
system's kernel) ;)

FWIW in our testing, (w/ dd mostly) we have been getting around 80MB/sec
transfer rate with this card in RAID5 configuration (using Hitachi
Deskstar 400GB SATA drives) & 5.4-PRE cvsupped as of 48 hours ago.  Very
nice...

Best Wishes - Peter
